Hi Carol, the plan was, just like with skype, fireFox, windows live mail, is to
get to the laptop, via USB. Unfortunately, this thing didn't like the download
link, at all. I'm just exploring email client options, and if there's something
floating around for free, particularly if someone else is in need of it, I'll
grab it, secretly. Guess its not a secret, now.

Hi.
The Braille Sens: certainly can't run Thunderbird and I can imagine it didn't
even take kindly to having it downloaded onto the machine, if only to
transfer Thunderbird to the computer.
I'm sure Mo will have some ideas about getting it to you. I use it and find
it acceptable and have got used to it now.

Hi Mo,
I was thinking of grabbing a copy of this, but, the braille sense being a
braille sense, it failed, and I'm not really good with copying things with
laptop yet. Is this available somewhere, which old browsers like a little
better? Sorry to be a pain, BTW.

Hello Mark.
Thundrebird has to be the easiest and light weight email client around.
Please see my instructions below for installation.
changes made to optimize thunderbird include:
* UK English dictionary was set as default for spell checking.
* display homepage on startup option was disabled.
* disabled the option to check for updates automatically.
* the portable version of thunderbird was used as its easier to backup
and deal with generally.
First, you need to download and save the file from the following link:
https://cp.sync.com/dl/299d61dc0#p4e5t227-b7kt54x4-vekq7egd-cj5fkhzc
After saving the file, press enter on it to start the install process. A
WinRar dialogue box will be displayed informing you that thunderbird is
being extracted. when the extraction is complete, you will have a
ThunderbirdPortable icon on your desktop. Thunderbird has been
successfully installed to your user profile folder in windows.
Go to the desktop and press enter on Thunderbird portable to launch the
program. When the program opens, shift tab twice to get to use my
existing email account and press enter.
enter your name, email address and password and click continue.
Wait from 30 seconds to a minute for thunderbird to find and configure
your email settings automatically.
finally, press tab to done and press enter.
You will now be in the thunderbird main window. tab until you hear tree
view and your account name. arrow to the right until you hear inbox. the
messages should start to come in at this point. Press F8 to turn off the
reading preview payne which can slow things down for jaws. tab once to
the filter these messages box and press escape to close it.
If using Windows 10 and Jaws, go to the help menu and check for updates
to update to the
latest version for Windows 10.
Congratulations. you have now set thunderbird up for use. Please refer
to the following guide for more information on how to proceed. Note that
if the guide opens in your browser as text, use the save as option in
the file menu to save a copy.
https://cp.sync.com/dl/0a3596930#796wnfih-suzihiwp-yvnffemg-ne3wdc6i
As previously stated, I'll be refining the guide in the coming days to
make it easier to navigate and posting it online. Please don't hesitate
to write to me off list with any questions.
mobeeniqbal@xxxxxxxxx
is where you'll find me.
All the best,
Mo.

Hi all.
I am about to set up a Linx 8 inch Windows 10 tablet and would appreciate
recommendations for a simple email program for accessing my NtlWorld imap
account. Hoping to use NVDA initially and might try Supernova screen reader
at a later date.
Any ideas welcome, thanks.
